Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ON I-680, HERE IN OMAHA, WHEN WE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. EVERYTHING WENT DARK FOR A SECOND AND THEN STARTED UP AGAIN. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WE DID NOT REGAIN POWER AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE ODD THING IS THAT, ALTHOUGH WE HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, NO LIGHTS AND SEEMINGLY NO POWER AT ALL, WE STILL LUCKILY HAD POWER STEERING SO WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY. I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOT FAR FROM HOME AND WE DID NOT HAVE FURTHER INSTANCES LIKE THIS UNTIL WE GOT THERE. WE WERE BOTH VERY SCARED BUT GLAD THAT THE POWER LOSS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JB
